Glioblastoma recurrence after aggressive therapy typically occurs within six
months, and patients inevitably succumb to their disease. Tumor recurrence is
driven by a subpopulation of cancer stem cells in glioblastoma (glioblastoma
stem-like cells, GSCs), which exhibit resistance to cytotoxic therapies, compared
to their non-stem-cell counterparts. Here, we show that the Cox-2 and Wnt
signaling pathways are aberrantly activated in GSCs and interact to maintain the
cancer stem cell identity. Cox-2 stimulates GSC self-renewal and proliferation
through prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which in turn activates the Wnt signaling
pathway. Wnt signaling underlies PGE2-induced GSC self-renewal and independently
directs GSC self-renewal and proliferation. Inhibition of PGE2 enhances the
effect of temozolomide on GSCs, but affords only a modest survival advantage in a
xenograft model in the setting of COX-independent Wnt activation. Our findings
uncover an aberrant positive feedback interaction between the Cox-2/PGE2 and Wnt
pathways that mediates the stem-like state in glioblastoma.
